Triamcinolone-assisted vitrectomy in pediatric cataract surgery

From the Iladevi Cataract & IOL Research Centre (Shah, V. Vasavada, Praveen, A.R. Vasavada, Dixit), Raghudeep Eye Clinic, Memnagar, Ahmedabad, India; and the MUSC–Storm Eye Institute (Trivedi), Charleston, South Carolina, USA

Received 22 July 2008; received in revised form 7 October 2008; accepted 10 October 2008.

We describe a technique to manage anterior vitreous face disturbance that may occur during performance of a manual posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis (PCCC) in pediatric eyes. The technique renders the vitreous visible to the anterior segment surgeon and ensures a thorough and complete anterior vitrectomy in congenital cataract surgery after a manual PCCC using preservative-free triamcinolone acetonide.
